If I post something and then want to delete it, how is that done here? I don't see a "delete" option as on other MBs. Also, in trying to set up a "signature" in my profile, I wanted to right-align the line attributing credit to the quote to be used, but could only find a center-align button in the message options "toolbar" (I also tried modifying the syntax usedby california-trailwalker - General Discussion

Yes ... we stay in Curry Village whenever we're there (been doing that for over 35 years). I wasn't referring to the Valley, but to the trails heading out of the Valley up into the mountains. I'm sure erosion is an issue along most parts of any trails, but I don't think anyone would suggest paving the entire PCT, for example, to overcome that. I don't see any difference between that example anby california-trailwalker - General Discussion
If you're talking about asphalt, cement or the like, as in the case of much of the leftover stuff on the Four Mile Trail, then I'm sorry to hear that. Asphalt paving of trails like the JMT, Four Mile Trail and others like those (except the bike trails in the valley) are an unfortunate hangover of bygone days from an now-extinct way of thinking about wilderness/nature trails. In this case, I sinby california-trailwalker - General Discussion
By "paving", I hope you don't mean anything other than fixing the existing dirt. CaTby california-trailwalker - General Discussion
There's more. Steve, the guy who found my chip, recovered my pictures, and mailed the chip back to me, also called the Fresno Bee to let them know about this whole story. Their outdoor section reporter decided to do a write-up on it, and his boss decided to run it as the lead story in the Local section of Sunday's edition!

I didn't mind the tent-cabin experience, per se, but thought for what you got (or rather, didn't get) for the price, it was vastly overpriced.by california-trailwalker - General Discussion

$40 for an unheated tent cabin at CV?? We paid $89 for the same thing in mid-September this year (definitely not a good value, in my opinion). Is $40 the off season price, or does this price go back a few years? CaTby california-trailwalker - General Discussion

So am I. I'll post a link to my much belated TR here when I get the pictures uploaded to my site, etc. I've been waiting for a final outcome with the camera (found or not found) before composing a TR, since I knew a couple of people were still planning to look for it. Now I can proceed with the TR, even though 2 months after-the-fact. CaTby california-trailwalker - General Discussion
>>I can see it now CT, endorsements, commercials, free cameras, free flash chips for life!<< Nah... >>After you recover your photos, ever thought of maybe just encasing the card in plastic?<< Interesting thought, although I'll probably just reuse it since it still works OK.

When I first read the post on the other board by the person who found it (he included a couple of unmistakable identifying pictures, such as my Whitney summit shot, as evidence of his find), my wife was with me at the computer. Understand that the guy who found it, first said that he had not found the camera (which is true), but he never mentioned the chip, and left that to my imagination (and Iby california-trailwalker - General Discussion
All - One final happy and amazing post to end this thread! I thought you all might be interested to know that one of the moderators from the other board made a day trip to Yosemite last week, and aside from picking up a large bag full of trash beneath the saddle of Half Dome below the south face (which was part of why he was there), he also looked for my camera (and/or its chip).

Jon, Welcome back. Sorry you didn't feel well in Yosemite and your that trip there didn't go as planned. I hope you are feeling better after returning home. We almost never have a trip (Yosemite or elsewhere) go precisely as planned, so I can sure relate. Thanks very much again for thinking of me and my camera. I appreciate it very much. At this point, it will probably be some time next yeaby california-trailwalker - General Discussion
I ran this by my wife, who said she knows how to clean the sensor, but said that it was one of her lenses, not the sensor. Thanks. On a note related to my original post, apparently on Friday 9/28, there was an annual volunteer clean-up in Yosemite Valley and Half Dome (to name two I heard about). They helicoptered off an entire large "bag" of trash from the saddle area of Half Domeby california-trailwalker - General Discussion
Rob, You might have a good point here. She has a Nikon D70, with a number of interchangeable lenses (and I'm sure she changed them out now and then during our trip). I'll read your post to her and see what she thinks. It sounds like a very real possibility. Thanks! CaTby california-trailwalker - General Discussion

Agreed. The last thing I would want would be for someone to get injured (or worse) looking for something as relatively inconsequential as a camera. Know what your limits are, and stay within them. CaTby california-trailwalker - General Discussion
